A tradition of excellence which dates back to the European immigrants has developed into a burgeoning cheese industry for Argentina. Finally earning the international recognition they deserve, these cheeses are more than the mere replicas that their names suggest. Magnasco Edam balls are especially popular in the U.S.A. among our Puerto Rican population. This Edam is an obvious copy of the Dutch original - complete with red wax and cellophane overwrap. It is a touch sharper and a lot harder than the cheese that inspired it. Made from pasteurized whole cow's milk, Magnasco Edam is hard enough to grate and makes a wonderful topping for any rice, vegetable or pasta dish.

This cheese, when fresh is somewhat on the hard side but can vary. It gets softer towards the center but always firm. The flavor is amazing. It starts off tasting one way and as you chew it, it melts in your mouth and the flavor begins to morph. You have a collage of flavors coming from this cheese leaving you with wanting more when you're done eating it. Finding it fresh is key and igourmet always delivers the best! If you get this on Amazon, be sure to get it from igourmet!

Edam cheese

Edam cheese had mold under wax on top but seems to be good. Ate a small piece which tasted ok. Left in refrigerator for a while and did not get any more mold so i will try some again

A good Edam cheese

I have been searching a long time for this type of cheese. It is a hard delicious edam that I used to enjoy when I was young.

Magnasco Edam

Could not believe this was advertised as cheese...very unlike many of the other fine cheeses we previously purchased...it came in as a dry and tasteless ball of wax...inedible
